6.40 to Montreal by Eva Jurczyk

 

Agatha is on a book deadline with writers block in a big way. Her husband to help things along gifts her a first class ticket for a six hour journey from Toronto to Montreal to get her writing. Beautiful views, quiet surroundings, very few passengers. What could go wrong?

Start with a death. First thought of accidental. Then not so. Then snowed in, completely immobile because according to the car conductor, doors automatically sealed shut. No Wifi, all communications with the top brass through the conductor. A young man goes into a diabetic coma.  He or his mother have forgotten the insulin. The body count rises and everyone is still trapped.

Lots of different points of interest in the story, a twist (and rather unsatisfactory end) but still a very convoluted story.
